Poll: Majority of Americans Get News From TV

According to a new Gallup poll, most of us turn to the tube for news, and it’s not even close. The survey, which asked a little over 2,000 adults what medium they view as their primary source of news, found that 55 percent said TV. The Internet was second, but was cited by only 21 percent of respondents.

As for print? A paltry nine percent of Americans turn to newspapers for news. The most often cited paper was the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, tied with one percent of the vote.

When respondents gave a specific TV outlet as their answer, Fox was named the most often at eight percent, followed by CNN at seven.

Does living in a nation where most people turn to Fox and CNN for news make you feel terrible or terrible? Please answer in the comments.
